Types of Massage
Therapeutic Massage
Manual manipulation of the soft tissue is used to increase relaxation and to reduce stress. Longer gliding and kneading strokes to the muscle are generally used to remove metabolic waste and increase blood circulation. Minimum pressure is used to promote relaxation, but increased pressure may be requested for problem areas.
Deep Tissue Massage
This method is used by the therapist to address the deeper muscle
fibers that my be restricting movement and causing pain or discomfort. Deep tissue work can free the adhesions caused by tension, stress,
over worked muscles and/or scar tissue. This type of massage can be very effective for chronic conditions.
Sports Massage
In addition to deep tissue work, stretching, joint movement
and range of motion are involved. These all work together to keep the muscle free of tension and stress as well as keeping mobility in the
joints for optimum performance. This helps to facilitate the process of building and maintaining the good health of the muscle tissue while
increasing blood and lymph flow.
Hot Stone Therapy
Stones used from the beach or riverbeds naturally tumbled
to a smooth finish are heated and incorporated into the massage. This enhances the relaxation and warms the muscle allowing the therapist
into the deeper tissues.
Energy Work
Energy work comes in many different forms. Natural Paths offers a peaceful, relaxing session in which the therapist will work with the energy system. This would be the energetic pathways that flow through and around our physical body. Energy work is generally done fully clothed and with very light laying of hands on the body, if at all. The therapist is actually facilitating the movement of your own energy to enhance well being.
